14-day Yoga, Ayurveda and Meditation retreat

Which Yoga Asana matches your Ayurvedic constitution

About the Course

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past years, it’s that it’s incredibly important to take care of ourselves. Often we are not aware of how a number of bad habits, physical complaints, negative thoughts or stress can make us very unhealthy or unhappy. With this 14-day package we offer you the opportunity to look at yourself in a holistic way through both Yoga and Ayurveda.

Staying 2 weeks at Centre Lothlorien in a relaxing environment with healthy food and a natural daily rhythm is the perfect base to bring a positive transformation to your body and your life. In the first week you will learn about the basics of Ayurveda and what your own Ayurvedic body type is. You will also learn selective Yoga Asanas that suit your body type and personality and help you find your natural balance.

In the second week you use Indian meditation techniques to relax and rediscover your deepest self. Although we are all concerned with consciousness and personal development in some way, we often do not think about this long enough to really change something in our lives. The area around Centre Lothlorien is a true walking paradise. With lots of forest, vast fields, lakes, streams and valleys and, above all, not a soul in sight, it is easy to really get back to yourself.
